I am a co-blogger at Library Praxis with my librarian friend and former Sarah Lawrence co-worker Emily Drabinski.

My name is Maria Accardi, I am the coordinator of library instruction at Indiana University Southeast. IU Southeast, a regional campus in the IU system, is located in New Albany, IN, right across the river from Louisville, KY. I have a BA in English from Northern Kentucky University, and MA in English from the University of Louisville, and I earned my MLIS from the University of Pittsburgh in 2006. I live in downtown Louisville, where I can see the Ohio River from my window. I love to read, play Scrabble, watch terrible television, cook, and take pictures of my cats, Septimus and Gertrude.

I've been at IUS since August of 2007; prior to that I worked at Sarah Lawrence College, which was my first job out of library school.

In various previous incarnations, I have been: a paper shuffler at a college textbook company, a college composition instructor, and a newspaper indexing robot.
